Default

Your DHCP server is setting your default route to 10.0.1.1. You don't -want- that for an Internet-exposed platform. (You do want a firewall, or very limited services, obviously).

In simplest terms, a route is where to send packets outside the local subnets. Your local LAN is 10.0.1.0/24, and your Internet LAN is 201.x.y.z/29. If you have no -specific- routes defined, any address that falls outside these two subnets will use your default route, which is 10.0.1.1. And that is on a different (and wrong) NIC, which is why you don't see the packets on fxp0.

You need to set your dhclient.conf to ignore the route information from your DHCP server, or, set that address as static as well.

(You should learn to hide any internet facing domain names and IP addresses in public forums, else you will give attackers lots of information they otherwise might not have.)
